It's almost that time gentlemen. I'll be targeting them from the yak. I've had a few shots at them, but managed to booger it up. We won't go into that part. How do you guys fish for them? Boat? Pier?

I think I'm gonna switch it up this year and try chumming outside the second sand bar. I know I won't be beinging them in per say, but with being in the yak I don't have the luxury of spotting them from very far at all. But, maybe if I can get one poking around the slick I can get him to eat a flat lined croaker or hard head, or maybe pitch an eel to him.

I never really seek them out. Have always caught them snapper fishing. Usually a curious stupid one will start hanging round the boat and get got.

They seem to bite well on steel.

Late to the party and maybe off topic, but and reel size recs in bait caster for targeting them? We plan on doing it this season and need to rig up.
